Good morning and welcome to the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy and Artiste Blog Hop! If you are visiting from Vanessa's Blog then you are in the right place! If not, please click HERE to start at the beginning! I was super excited when I got invited to do this hop! There is still so much to explore on the Artiste cartridge and any excuse to get to use it, I'm game! I hope you are inspired by the wonderful projects you will be seeing using the Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridge!

For my card, I've used the new Artiste cartridge. I have the Art Philosophy on my wish list (along with a gazillion other CTMH products hee hee) and I have my fingers crossed it won't be long and I can order it! My Brother's Birthday is just right around the corner and I wanted to make him a card! I love the papers from the Avonlea Paper Packet (X7155B)! I thought they would be perfect for him! Plus, at the present moment that's the only collection I have bahahhaa! I told ya I have a gazillion things on my wish list and more paper is one of them!!! Anyhoo, I also used the stamp set, D1529 the Cricut Artiste collection, Birthday! This is one of the sets that is included when you purchase the Artiste cartridge! I love having sets that you can use with your cricut cuts!

Here is a picture of the card and the envelope! I used on page 52, Accent 4 to make my card base! On this page, there are nine different card bases to choose from and they are all soooo cool! I love that it has a envelope feature that will fit the cards! It's on the card feature key! I found the matching cut (for the center) on page 77 under the Accent 1 key. I then stamped by image using a CTMH stamp pad in the color Chocolate (X5643)!

I hope you have gotten some inspiration from my card today! It was super fun to make! Thanks so much for visiting me today in the blog hop! Browse around and if you like what you see I would LOVE for you to become a follower! Have a awesome day! Hugs, Leanne
